[Atrix 4G General] jchamp922:
I am having a reception issue. My Motorola Atrix shows 3 or 4 bars and suddenly drops to 1 or no service for a second and goes back up to 3 or 4 bars.

I live in NYC and never had this problem when I had my Samsung Captivate. Most of the time the phone does not even show the full bars, mostly 3 or 4 and occasionally 5. I have replaced the sim card and still having the same problem. Do you think it has anything to do with the phone being 4g and ATT not having the 4G turned on yet? Is it constantly searching for a service. I really dont think it is the phone because I have heard of people exchanging the phone and still have the same problem. Any ideas
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
Please do not post redundant questions all over the forum. When someone can answer your original post then they will.

Yes I am having the identical issue. I've got an AT&T Atrix unlocked and on Fido in Canada

Just out of curiosity, is there a standard or general amount people donate to developers? Is any amount too small? Like, if you were to donate a few dollars, would that be frowned upon, or is literally any amount cool?
[Vibrant General] Oxicottin:
Im sure anything is appriciated! I have donated $1 - $5
[Vibrant General] Whitehawkx:
This ^

No amount is too small and is always appreciated. :)
[Vibrant General] deadpass:
Think of it like an app in the market with a free version and a paid version. You try it out for free and really like what you have so you're willing to pay 1-5 bucks for the paid version just because. There is no reason why donations to devs can't also work on the micropayment method.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I was surprised to find people were donating to me... I've had everything from $2 up to $15.... I've personally given from $5-$20 to developers/themers.

I think the general rule is, if you want to donate a penny, you are a good person and it would not be frowned upon.
[Vibrant General] kawika:
This is a good question. I've also wondered the same in the past.

I like to think i'm buying the team or person (whoever does that particular release) a 6-pack ($6-$8). Then i go buy me a 6-pack and i flash away!:D:D
[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
I think it's what you can afford and how much enjoyment that person has brought to you and your phone. It use to be called buy me a pepsi
[Vibrant General] jellette:
There is no amount too small, even not donating at all is fine!
[Vibrant General] tarastaryo:
Cool, thanks for your answers everyone :) I'm really in awe at the smarts of the developers on here. I think it would be awesome to have an XDA convention where we could all hang out and talk about phones! ... Unless something like that exists already and I'm just way slow!
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
I dont think id ever want to see a android cell phone convention. That just would show ppl really need to get social lives
[Vibrant General] Dan_Brutal:
Donations are accepted, but not required. I do this for fun, and not to sound selfish, myself. But I don't mind sharing : D
[Vibrant General] tarastaryo:
Guess I won't be seeing you there then, jwleonhart
[Vibrant General] jellette:
lol - I'd go to one.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:

lol i just wanna see some of these dev's in real life.. :D

Are they like geeks with glasses and **** or normal people? or those rich douche bags?

Some of you guys should hit up the Android BBQ. It's actually a big, sponsored event, but mostly the bad-ass developers we all follow on twitter.

People were donating to you? Are you a developer?
[Vibrant General] Br1cK'd:
Its gotta be GEEKS with glasses eh? Can't be a normal, maybe hippie-ish, individual with glasses. lol. :p

I think a meeting would be hilarious. Finally put some faces with some names. See the forum trolls running from clique to clique starting drama. Scrizz knockin them on the forehead and then baiting them into more argument. I want to meet Bartek in real life!
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Ha, you know what i meant :eyeroll:

If you saw me, you'd probably... wouldn't be shocked.

I'm energetic here, trollin' here, and i troll in real life too!
[Vibrant General] tarastaryo:
I totally think it'd be fun. It's one thing to be on here and reading, but it's another to be able to talk to the person trying to teach you and ask questions and be shown how to do something. I just think the wealth of information that would be shared would be incredible, and it would be nice to put faces to names and make some friends!
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
okay okay thats a bit too far...

I understand where your going, but when i first read that i was like

"wtf, does s(he) want me to go up to some old guy at the meeting and ask him a question like i would on the Q/A section?"

haha.

I wouldn't go.

You all oldies, who knows one of you might be a pedophile.
[Vibrant General] tarastaryo:
I guess I wasn't thinking of it like a meeting? More like just a hanging out

im joking around as usual haha
[Vibrant General] Romanbb:
Haha I was just kidding around man, I don't have the money/time to go :(
[Vibrant General] ferhanmm:
Going to a convention would make their life more social, you not going means you have no social life. Lol kind of ironic.
[Vibrant General] dougstoner:
As far as donations go, I've given anywhere from 5-30 bucks depending on how much money I have. It really depends on how much extra money you have at the time. As far as a meetup, man, how cool would that be. Being able to geek out in person, hey let me show you what I did to my homescreen, oh snaps, check this sh!t out... I think my girlfriend would finally confirm just how geeky I can be when it comes to technology. I thought for SURE the first time she walked in my house and saw me playing ps3 with a headset, I thought she would just laugh her ass off at me. Instead, she said, OH, make what everyone's saying come through the speakers so I can hear it. It sounds hilarious to hear kids *****ing about camping, lag, etc. I might have a keeper. :)
[Vibrant General] eugene373:
I couldn't agree more with this statement.. :cool:
[Vibrant General] dligon:
i say even if you can't afford to donate cause we all know we're in this recession at least you can do is hit the thanks button for the the devs, themers, etc that make our vibrant awesome.
[Vibrant General] AEguyNYC5:
1) A donation just lets the recipient know that his or her work is appreciated, so in reality the amount is less important than the actual recognition and appreciation given.

2) I am old school from back when Howard Forums was the place for the phone geeks to go to. We used to have get-togethers on a regular basis. Every forum section, city, state, country, had it's own annual get together. I was going to show some pictures but the site has updated servers so they no longer exist. It does take things (friendships, respect, development, business) to a whole other level when you go beyond the keyboard and actually shake hands, etc.

3)It has nothing to do with "not having a social life" that is just an ignorant statement to make.
[Vibrant General] Abu-7abash:
I just facepalmed myself to sleep.
[Vibrant General] Br1cK'd:
You hit the nail right on the head. Even just popping in and saying good work or whatever, means a lot after a hard day of banging away at this stuff. You're appreciation in any form, is greatly appreciated.
[Vibrant General] killerace:
I don't know but should I donate to people who port roms or are they to easy?
[Vibrant General] GreggoryD502:
I don't know if they are easy or not. But they are taking there own personal time to do it for you. So throwing a few bucks would be a nice way to.say thanks.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dsf3g:
Hi, guys sorry for the noob question but..

I'm a noob to Android as well as to the Nook Color. Last night I rooted my NC (Autonooter 3.0) and downloaded a couple of apps from the Market. Both were free (Angry Birds and a Solitaire game). I haven't bought any paid apps yet, however, because I'm worried I'll lose them when B&N pushes out the Froyo update.

So my question is: how can I back-up apps I purchase? Can I always re-download for free once I've paid for them, or do I have to copy them off my device somehow and put them on my PC if I want to be able to re-install them ata later date?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] infazzdar:
Purchased applications remain purchased and will redownload if you uninstall, restore, flash a new Rom, etc.

Alternatively, you can use Titanium Backup to backup applications and application data onto your SD card.

[Captivate General] shaner82:
So I've had this Captivate for a little while now and have enjoyed it more than my iPhone 3GS, but after I upgraded to 2.2, I have had nothing but problems that is causing me to hate this phone.

My music player doesn't work. I can open it and play one song, but after that, it becomes unresponsive. If I want to listen to another song, I have to open task manager, end the music player and start over again. This happens every time.

The same thing with youtube. I can watch one video, then it becomes unresponsive. I have to end it with task manager and start again.

The phone is also incredibly laggy, worse than most Windows 95 machines I've used. It also freezes regularly and the only way to fix it is to pull the battery.

Other than flashing to a custom ROM, is there anything I can do to fix this?
[Captivate General] lyrad12:
HARD RESET your phone.. but backup first asl your data
[Captivate General] shaner82:
Sorry, I forgot to say I did that already, and nothing changed at all. Do you think it would be worthwhile to do it again?
[Captivate General] lyrad12:
what hard reset method did you use? is your cappy used custom rom b4?
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Those kind of problems sound like a bad update/flash. I would Odin back to stock, master clear and start over.
[Captivate General] shaner82:
Thanks for the help. It's fixed now. It was a bad upgrade to 2.2. I once again love this phone.

Hey guys,

A few hours ago, I turned on my stock camera app, only to be greeted with a bunch of vertical pink/purple lines - with no image of what I was aiming my camera at present on my screen. How did this happen now? It worked fine this afternoon, and this was the first time something like this ever happened to me.

No matter, I did some searching around, and found some posts regarding the "camera sensor" and how a person fixed it by "switching it out". It was pretty ambiguous and I have no idea what he meant. At this point, I'm hoping for the worst, thinking its a hardware defect.

Anyway, the next few threads I see talk about radio and setting the phone to airplane mode before use.

I don't think I have a problem with the radio, it has always been fine so far (32U_5.11.05.27), so I tried the airplane mode fix, and somehow, all camera functionality has been restored (no more purple/pink lines).

So my question is, how did this happen? Will it happen again? Can I totally rule out that its not a hardware defect?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aca85:
I had the same issue some time ago with my old rom (can't remember which one it was exactly) ,just rebooted the phone and prob was gonnne.Been 1 month with no issues so far...

As to the reason,it could be a great deal of them,but my money is on the rom (if it's not a stock one.)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eden2812:
That's good to hear, but I actually did try rebooting (and also clearing out camera data/cache, for whatever reason) to no avail.

Toggling airplane mode was what did it for me, but still, I'm curious on how this happens / might happen again in the future

Stock Andromeda3 framework-res.apk with Percent Battery images substituted for the stock battery images. No other changes were made.

For Andromeda3 ONLY! DO NOT INSTALL ON OTHER ROMS!

Download from Dropbox: framework-res.apk

To put this on your phone, use Root Explorer or other root file manager to copy this file into /system/framework, replacing the existing framework-res.apk with it.

Here is a gray circle battery mod for Andromeda 3
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Miami_Son:
Any chance you could make the circle in colors and change at varying points like some of the other batt mods? Green down to 50%, yellow down to 25%, red down to 0% would be awesome.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] C3P0LOL:
Yeah. I will do it tonight if no one else does by then. This gray one changes to red at 15% btw.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Miami_Son:
That would be really awesome of you, thanks.:cool:

EDIT: FYI, I just noticed that when you plug in the charger the battery icon reverts back to stock (little battery outline with blue showing amount of charge and lightning bolt to indicate charging).
[Captivate Themes and Apps] C3P0LOL:
Yeah, that was by design. Do you have a request for what you want to see when charging with the one I will make you in a bit?

I cant seem to find where to install this too. I use ASTRO file manager and I cant find "system/framework"

What should be the full path? And then I run the .apk or reboot for it to take effect?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] C3P0LOL:
You need a file explorer with su permissions. Use root explorer(mount rw). Just put it in /system/framework/ then reboot. You could use adb to push the file as well.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] creepyncrawly:
Root explorer is a paid application. If you are rooted and want to install a root file explorer that you don't have to pay for, you could download super manager from the market.

EDIT: I got tired of waiting so I decided to flash it. The battery mod looks good. The ring around the numbers is blue when more than half charged, green when below 50% and red when below 15%. During charge there is a small lightening bolt that swaps with the battery percentage on regular intervals. It looks good and even appears on the lockscreen. Thanks to the dev.
